Oakham Cricket Club is set to host a special Memorial Day on Bank Holiday Monday, August 25, 2025, dedicated to celebrating the lives of cherished community members. This full day of cricket and community spirit will also serve as a vital fundraiser for both the club and the mental health charity, MIND UK.

The day's events kick off at 11:30 AM at the club's grounds on Brooke Road, LE15 6HH. The cricket action begins with a T20 clash between the Bob Stark XI and the Dermot Gilvary XI. The afternoon continues with the Women's and Dynamos Softball match for the Maia Vokes Trophy at 2:30 PM. The day on the pitch will culminate with "The Hundred Showdown" at 4:00 PM, featuring a face-off between the Chris Larsen XI and the Malcolm Rawlings XI

Beyond the boundaries, the event promises a welcoming atmosphere for everyone. A BBQ will be running all day, serving up delicious food straight from the grill, and the fully stocked bar will be open for refreshments. There will also be a variety of games, activities, and prizes to keep all ages entertained throughout the day.

The Memorial Day is a chance for the community to come together to remember those who have passed, celebrate the spirit of the game, and support two important causes. All funds raised will go directly to Oakham Cricket Club to help with its ongoing development, as well as to MIND UK, an organization that provides essential support for mental health.

Join Oakham Cricket Club for a day of remembrance, sport, and community celebration this Bank Holiday.
